❓ Frequently Asked Questions ❓ What output modes are available — only phonetics or also translation? 💡 You can view chinese pinyin to english output (phonetics plus meaning) or switch to phonetics-only mode for distraction-free reading. ❓ Does it handle Traditional Chinese as well as Simplified? 💡 Yes. The chinese to pinyin engine recognizes both scripts and outputs correct phonetics for each character regardless of which standard is used. ❓ Can I use it as a hanyu pinyin generator for typing practice? 💡 This tool focuses on reading assistance. For composing text, pair it with your operating system's built-in IME, which handles input for typing. ❓ Can it convert pinyin to chinese characters? 💡 This extension annotates existing text on the page — it maps all text on hover. For composing text from romanized input, use a standard IME — it handles that natively. ❓ Does the english to mandarin work too? 💡 The primary function is annotating Mandarin pages. For conversion of your own text, use a dedicated romanization tool alongside this extension. ❓ Does it slow down my browser? 💡 No. The annotation engine runs asynchronously after the page finishes loading, so browsing speed is unaffected.
